The Ingonyama Trust is a corporate entity established to administer the land traditionally owned by the king for the benefit, material welfare and social well-being of the Zulu nation.[1]

The board of the trust consists of the Zulu king (the chairman), currently Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, and eight members appointed by the Minister for Agriculture and Land Affairs of the National Government after consultation with the King, the Premier of the Executive Council of KwaZulu-Natal and the chairperson of the House of Traditional leaders.[1][2]

As of 2012, the Trust owns 32% of the land in KwaZulu-Natal, about three million hectares, occupied by over 4 million people.[3] It also manages the mineral rights to the land.[4]

The trust does not pay taxes to the eThekwini municipality.[5]
